6 Reasons Why I Switched From Windows To Linux
As both an operating system and a community, Linux has been a major, positive force for the last 3 years of my personal and professional life. So I wanted to consolidate the reasons it appeals to me.
This post isn’t about proclaiming that Linux is the perfect solution for everyone, but it might be perfect for you. It’s not about saying you should completely ditch Windows, either. But you might want to dabble with Linux here and there to see if it’s right for you. Or just to experiment with something fun and different!
For the average PC user, I think it’s a far less frustrating experience.
I use Linux, macOS, and Windows for various tasks. For me, it’s all about staying sane and using the right tool for the job. The right tool for MY needs.
With that in mind, I wanted to give you 5 reasons that may lead you to consider switching. These are totally subjective, and they’re targeted at the average Windows user and not people who rely on Windows-exclusive applications for a paycheck.
One thing to know right up front: the modern Linux desktop OS is no longer the obtuse, bewildering, and command-line-driven thing it used to be. Not remotely!
